Its nice though and you will never fail tech!

glad to see yours moving along, mines getting very close too

I'd rather cut up the trans tunnel than cut on the SFI shield myself. Good to hear you like it! I think it's the best option for us Fbody guys.

UPDATE 18Aug10:

CARMA bringing the rain son!!!!!!!

After some back and forth with Carma and Brad, we finally gave in and sent the car over to have Brad and the mad scientist that is Chris at Caram finish up the short list of final things to get ready for racing. I'm not going into all the details, but Brad is MORE than welcome to list all the stuff he's doing on the car for me. I dropped the car off Monday afternoon with the expectation no one would even get started on it until at least later in the week. To my amazement.....I got this text just now:

For perspective:

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a FULL SIZE 12v 120amp alternator with a CARMA performance made alternator bracket. To my knowledge, I'm the only on with log manifolds to pull off a full size alternator in a tucked location like this.

More updates as they come from Carma!!!

Thanks again Brad, chris and all the guys at Carma!!! It's a killer start to the list we've got to be able to race this thing!

Still no fans. Is Carma going to install them for you? I'm waiting to see my donation to the cause in the pics.

You're welcome.

No you can't reverse wire the other fan. It might turn backwards but the blade pitch is wrong and it will be a waste of time. If you need to I might be able to get you a pusher. Try it out with just one fan and the turbine blanket and it should be good to go. If not I'll get you something.
